Tabletop Gaming News

Add another one to Asmodee’s collection. Mayfair Games has announced that they’ve been acquired by the board game company, effectively immediately. From the announcement: As of today, the management team at Mayfair Games, Inc. announces we will wind down game publishing. After 36 years, this was not an easy decision or one we took lightly, […]

I have to admit, I know very little about Sailor Moon. My knowledge of anime pretty much starts and stops at Trigun and Cowboy Bebop. I do know, though, that it’s a popular series that many people out there love. Well, if you want to bring it to your tabletops, you’re in luck Dyskami Publishing […]

Bit of a shotgun release week for Forge World. You’ve got a new Primarch in the form for Rogal Dorn. You’ve got some Legio Custodes characters and bits (space janitors have the coolest gear). Then there’s the Space Wolf terminators and bits. And, of course, new Hired Guns for Necromunda. Like I said, a bit […]

With all the troubles in the world today, we all know that the true evil is… Ancient Egypt! *Imperial March plays* At least, the minions of Nephren-Ka are evil, and they’re looking to bring the long-dead pharaoh back to life. You investigators will have to make sure that doesn’t happen. It’s what you’re tasked with […]

February is the month of love. But if you missed out on the HATE Kickstarter, it can also be the month of HATE. For those that didn’t join up with the Kickstarter and are just hating yourself for that (see what I did there?), you can still join in during the Late Pledge time and […]

Sometimes you find yourself the only gamer around. Maybe you’re at a doctor’s appointment, waiting to get in. Or you’re the first one at the LGS for the day. Or you’re waiting for everyone to show up for gaming night. Or you’ve just gotten home from work and nobody else is there and you wanna […]

You might think that playing an RPG requires a lot of space. You’ve gotta have a big table for your mat and room for everyone’s sheet and dice and all that, right? Wrong! A4 Quest requires only a little bit of space to play. Same with Page Quest: Mythical Artifacts (as they both use the […]

Blevik is a city dominated by doppelgangers. So, while it can be a nice place to visit, you’re never 100% sure who you might be interacting with. This new book for Ponyfinder (also Pathfinder and 5th Edition) gives you details of this strange city, along with new spells, traits, and other class options. You can […]

One of the most iconic battles in Western Civilization, Agincourt saw King Henry the V beat the French on the fields of Agincourt. Now, you can bring that moment of history to your tabletop in Fields of Agincourt, a tile-laying game of positioning, terrain, and the plague. The game is up on Kickstarter now. From […]

It’s another Thursday. Still haven’t gotten a handle on Thursdays. But we’ll make it through to the weekend soon. Just gotta put our heads down and power through. It’s a quick Terrain Corner for you today. We’ve got: Resin Cast Mob Football Goals Up On Kickstarter Resin Cast Mob Football Goals Up On Kickstarter Digitally […]

While you’re still waiting for the release of the Munchkin CCG, Steve Jackson Games has other Munchkin-themed products available. And since we’re just under a week away from Valentine’s Day, love is in the air with these sets. From the announcement: The day of love is coming soon, and we know you’ve prepared something lavish […]

Games occasionally need a bit of tweaking. Try as the developers might, something might not work as intended, or things might just feel stale, or they come up with new ideas for better mechanics that don’t work within the current rules. As such, they revise things and we get a new edition. That’s what we’ve […]

There are billions and billions of stars in the galaxy, and around them are billions and billions of planets. In Planetopia, you take on the role of one of those planets, newly-formed and ready to harbor life. But with all those planets available, you’ll have to work hard at attracting life to you. You might […]

I have to admit, I’ve read very few fiction books. They’re not really my thing. However, one I remember reading and enjoying was A Wrinkle in Time (actually, back in grade school, for a project, I even created a board game about it. So there’s your gaming tie-in). The book will soon be a movie. […]

I had really thought about making the headline, “Cryptozoic announces the arrival of The Arrival” but decided against it. Still, obviously I made it the opening to the post. Anyway, The Arrival puts players in control of a Tribe, and they are looking to gain more territory in ancient Ireland from the other Tribes, as […]

Modiphius has teamed up with Ripstone and Auroch Digital to bring the world of Acthung! Cthulhu to your video screens. The alternate-history WWII game where Cthulhu-mythos creatures come flooding into our own world is getting the full digital treatment.

I’m sure many of us can remember back to the first RPG adventure we tried to run or played in. It might’ve been something you came up with, yourself, or it might’ve been a pre-generated adventure. If you were pretty young, you might not have fully understood how things worked, as the book was more-than-likely […]

North Star Games has announced an update to their sales policies for their games. First off, they’ve implemented a new Minimum Advertised Pricing Policy (commonly known as a MAPP). They’re also starting to issue Channel Restriction Notices to certain resellers, mostly aimed at Amazon.com resellers. From the announcement: In order to better serve its retail […]

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. That’s just a general truth. Not every game is going to be for every gamer. But that does mean that every game should be for some gamer. It’s matching the game with […]

The week continues to chug along. We’ve made it halfway there. Just another couple leaps and we’ll be back to the weekend. I’m excited to hopefully get back to the Tails of Equestria game we’ve been playing here at the office. It’s been since before the holidays that we managed to have our last session. […]
